THE EQUATION OF ANGLE BISECTOR BETWEEN TWO LINES
* Consider the figure below.
Where, PM and PN are perpendicular distance from point P. which are always equal.
Since
Then
=
NOTE;
i) for the equation take +ve
i ii) for the equation take –ve
THE CONCURRENT LINES
These are the lines which intersect at the same point.
Example:
– where and are concurrent line.
– However the point of intersection if concurrent line normally calculated under the following steps.
1. Select two equation of straight line which relate to each other from the those equation provided.
2. The get point of inter section of selected equation as usual. Points of intersection into the third equation in such a way that if the result of L.H.S is equal R.H.S imply that these line are currents lines.
Example;
i.Show that the lines
, and are current lines
ii. Determine the value of M for which the lines, – 3 = 0 and are current.
iii. Find the equation of bisect of angle formed by the lines represented by pair of the following.
a) and
b) and
Solution:
1)Given
By solving since simultaneous equation

For the first equation take the it be cones
Then for the equation take cones from

The equations of base equation of the angle are
THE AREA OF TRIANGLE WITH THREE VERTICES
By geometrical method.
Consider the figure below.
Our intention is to find the area of
Now,
Area of = area of trapezium ABED area of trapezium ACED
But area of trapezium
Also consider, Area of trapezium ABED
Area of trapezium DCEF
Area of trapezium
Then
But simplification the formula becomes
If ABC has A (x1, y1), B (x2, y2) and C (x3, y3) for immediately calculation of area the following technique should be applied by regarding three vertices of as A (x1, y1), B (x2, y2) and C (x3, y3)
Area =
